The phone was kept in good conditions and after googling online I have seen pictures with the same yellow spot defect, in the same location, on older versions like Xperia Z compact. So, it seems they share internally the same defect which damages the screen, probaby through overheating.

Been hearing about Sony issues since the Z1. It's funny that they haven't succeeded in making reliable phones in the past 6 years. Sad. truly sad.

Are they slow to load those... moreThose who complain about showing high resolution pics on such small low resolution screen are freaks. I do not see any delays or rendering struggles more than ram limitations and slow storage speed to read large pics. Other more grave issues are with screen defects, screen's uncured glue which appear after a while, due to overheating, like yellow spots.

But in 350$ x compact is far far ahead than a3
Why even compare that Samsung midranger with Sony premium device
Samsung midranger is worth contrasting to xperia l1 or e5

Just search on YouTube
And many companies mention waterproof for their devices but they end up leaked most of the time

Gino76, 08 Aug 2017Had the XZ and battery life has been rather not good enough for me on an average use. Maybe the moto x4, not out yet and battery size isn't confirmed, but it will have ip68 and a fps.
